About Us
OC Recycling
Established in 2010, OC Recycling was founded on the belief that environmental responsibility and community service go hand in hand. Our mission is to make recycling simple, accessible, and rewarding for everyone while helping conserve and protect our shared environment.
Our President founded OC Recycling with a deep commitment to both conservation and community. As a Biology Major at Pepperdine University, he learned the importance of protecting our planet’s natural habitats. His experience as a Firefighter with the Los Angeles County Fire Department reinforced the values of service, compassion, and caring for those unable to care for themselves. Today, those same values drive our operations and customer experience.
What began as a single recycling center in Santa Ana, California, has grown into a network of four locations, including Orange, Huntington Beach, and our newest partnership with Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, where we proudly operate the on-campus recycling center.
At OC Recycling, we pride ourselves on providing superior pricing, service, and customer experience. We are a full-service recycler, specializing in CRV materials, scrap metals, cardboard, steel, tin, computers, televisions/monitors, and other electronics recycling. We accept all quantities, from a single ounce to full truckloads, and pay cash for all eligible materials. Whether you’re an individual recycler or a business with bulk materials, our friendly and professional team is here to help.
